A Wide-Field Astrophotography Page

Welcome to my wide-field astrophotography page! Notice that I
call it "A" wide-field astrophotography page. The information
is not intended to be comprehensive by any means. The emphasis
here is on astrophotography with SLR film cameras and simple
tracking equipment.

Other than a recent (Nov 2003) rescan of the photos to much
improve their digital appearance, these pages have not been
updated for a while. Most of this information dates back to
1996-7, but much of it is still useful, even if you are using a
digital SLR.

each image for personal use. Educational use is generally fine,
too, but any publication of the images requires my permission.
